Protect Our Clan Leader

Capítulo 2246: Chapter 259: Overwhelming Victory! The Might of the Sacred Image of Yuan Water Unleashed

…

The belly of Da Qian.

On the southeastern coast of West Sea Prefecture.

Three gigantic Kunmu vessels were docked at the shore.

A major battle had just ended not long ago, and remnants of the combat lingered on the giant vessel. At this moment, aside from the basic vigilance, most of the soldiers were resting or half-squinting as they recuperated, helping each other treat wounds.

Inside one of the giant vessels, Demon Lord Xietong, Yinsha Sect’s Demon Lord Yin Sha, Emperor Nanqin Yuan You, and Emperor West Jin Yan Qing were gathered in a rare temporary meeting.

“Now that we’ve captured the West Sea Prefecture, going further inland, the Kunmu vessels can’t advance. If we fight, we’ll have to switch to river boats or disembark for land battles.” Emperor Yan Qing had evidently spent much energy lately, and his face showed visible fatigue, “But now our soldiers are very weary, and the casualties are significant. To be prudent, I think we should halt our offensive.”

“I second that.” Emperor Yuan You frowned deeply, “The border has been fought for years, and we spent a fortune building the Kunmu vessels. Southern Qin’s finances were tight to begin with; if this continues, the treasury might run dry.”

He still wore the black imperial robe, yet the vigor and drive he once had seemed to have disappeared, and fatigue was apparent on his young face.

Clearly, being forced to attack Da Qian for years, and then persistently pressed during this period, drastically changed his mindset, causing pent-up resentment, even affecting his attitude towards Demon Lord Xietong, which was far less respectful than before.

Even Demon Lord Yin Sha looked exhausted, having evidently endured considerable turmoil these days, likely having listened to countless complaints from Emperor Yan Qing and Emperor Yuan You.

“No way!” Demon Lord Xietong’s attitude remained stubbornly firm, “It’s not me forcing you, but this mission is a direct order from the Demon King himself. Even I must obey. How can you refuse? Until the Demon King signals, we must maintain the offensive pace, creating sufficient pressure on Da Qian to pin down their main forces.”

“But…”

Emperor Yuan You was about to say something.

Suddenly.

The Kunmu vessel beneath them began to tremble slightly, and even the teacup before the four people emitted a faint clinking sound.

“What’s happening?”

Demon Lord Xietong’s face darkened, immediately releasing his divine sense outward.

Outside, the lake surface was violently turbulent, and the clouds overhead were in constant motion, with the sky suddenly darkening, as if a storm was imminent.

What’s the situation?

As Demon Lord Xietong pondered, a horrific energy wave suddenly exploded from within the clouds, followed by tendrils of dark Ming Sha Qi spreading vigorously.

At the same time, a golden light, a green light, and a green light with golden edges also exploded, with the brilliant radiance nearly dyeing the entire sky gold and green.

From below looking towards the sky, one could feel a terrifying pressure from the True Immortal and True Demon Realm pervading the heavens, with the dreadful energy shattering the firmament, and the rolling shock wave sweeping the world, causing the entire realm to tremble slightly.

Amid the continuous bursts of radiance and energy waves, a black-robed figure could be vaguely seen fleeing in panic, dodging frantically.

Ming Sha Qi? True Demon Realm pressure?!

Demon, Demon King?!!!

Demon Lord Xietong’s mind buzzed, almost exploding. For a moment, his brain went blank.

Not until the four figures in the sky continued entangling and gradually receding into the distance, even as the rolling clouds and heaving waves slowly subsided, did he awaken as if from a dream, looking dazedly at Emperor Yan Qing and Emperor Yuan You beside him, his voice hoarse: “Earlier… the one being chased in front… could it be, the Demon King?”

Emperor Yan Qing and Emperor Yuan You were also bewildered at this moment.

No matter how rich their imagination, they never anticipated witnessing the Demon King being chased relentlessly in their lifetime.

The most crucial question was, who exactly were the three great True Immortal Realm figures chasing the Demon King from behind? They didn’t appear to be Immortal Supremes or Immortal Emperors, did they?

Is this a sign of impending change?!

Then should they continue fighting this war?

…

Just as the Demon King was being pursued with nowhere to escape above and below, on the other side, the battle at the Divine Mastery Realm level had already reached its conclusion ahead.

All the invading Gongye Clan and Real Demon Palace Divine Realm powerhouses, every single one of them, were immediately killed or captured.

Ultimately, the battle record showed nine Divine Realm killed, and twenty-eight captured.

This was a glorious victory.

Alongside the younger generation of the Wang family, there was secret support from some in-law families, for instance, the Zhao Clan covertly dispatched two Divine Realm cultivators, and Zhao Xiqing, Long Wuji’s mother, who had good relations with the Wang family, was involved.

Two Divine Realm cultivators from the Great Qian Wang Clan came, additionally, the Gongye Clan, Chen Clan, and Imperial Household also sent Divine Realm cultivators.

Even the Qian Family sent two Old Ancestors at the Peak of Purple Abode Realm. Furthermore, they were accompanied by two Divine Realm puppets.

Over the years, the Qian Family actively participated in various commercial ventures developed by the Wang family. They were the first to invest in canal construction, the first to form caravans when the canal opened, and even during overseas development, they were the first to sense opportunities.
